AreaChart

Filled areas, stacked or expanded, solid or gradient, with a crosshair tooltip.

Example
import { AreaChart } from "@elements/ui/chart-area";
import type { ChartConfig } from "@elements/ui/chart";

<AreaChart data={rows} {config} x="month" curve="natural" />
<AreaChart data={rows} {config} x="month" series={["mobile", "desktop"]}
           stack="normal" fill="gradient" legend />

Parts

Part	What it is
AreaChart	The template. One filled area per series.
.chart-area-mark	One area (an SVG path); .is-gradient with fill=gradient.
.chart-line-mark	The area's top edge, unless stroke is false.
.chart-dot	Point markers, as LineChart.
.chart	The figure. Declares --color-<key> for each config entry; keeps a 16:9 box unless sized by class.
.chart-plot	The focusable plot area holding the SVG; one tab stop.
.chart-tooltip	The tooltip: heading, one row per item with swatch, name and value, optional footer.
.chart-legend	The legend row; .chart-legend-item per series, a button with legend toggle.
.chart-table	The data as a table, visually hidden unless showTable.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Default	Description
data	Row[]	(required)	The rows: one per category.
config	ChartConfig	(required)	The chart config: per data key a label, a color (any CSS color, usually var(--chart-N)) or a theme { light, dark }, and an optional icon; legendType and tooltipType; strokeDasharray and strokeOpacity dash and fade a line or an area's edge. Each key becomes --color-<key> on the chart.
x	string	(required)	The category field.
series	string[]	[]	The value fields, first at the bottom of a stack. Empty draws every numeric config key.
curve	"linear" | "monotone" | "natural" | "step" | "stepBefore" | "stepAfter" | "basis" | "bump"	"linear"	How the edges join their points.
layout	"horizontal" | "vertical"	"horizontal"	vertical runs the categories down the chart and the values across it.
stack	"none" | "normal" | "expand" | "silhouette" | "wiggle"	"none"	Stack the areas; expand fills the plot so each area is its share; silhouette and wiggle center the layers as a streamgraph.
reverseStackOrder	boolean	false	Stack the last series first, so the first sits on top; the legend and tooltip keep series order.
baseValue	number | "dataMin" | "dataMax" | null	null	Where an unstacked area fills to: a value, or the bottom or top of the axis. null fills to zero.
fill	"solid" | "gradient"	"solid"	A flat wash, or a gradient that fades from the line down.
fillOpacity	number	-1	0 to 1. -1 follows the theme.
stroke	boolean	true	Draw each area's top edge.
strokeWidth	number	0	Edge width in px. 0 follows the theme.
dots	boolean | { r?: number; shape?: "circle" | "square" | "diamond" | "commit"; colorByRow?: boolean; nameKey?: string; hollow?: boolean }	false	A marker on every point.
activeDot	boolean | { r?: number; shape?: "circle" | "square" | "diamond" | "commit"; colorByRow?: boolean; nameKey?: string; hollow?: boolean }	true	The markers at the active point.
connectNulls	boolean	false	Fill across missing values.
categoryAxis	boolean | { tickFormatter?: (value, index) => string; tickLine?: boolean; axisLine?: boolean; tickMargin?: number; tickCount?: number; domain?: [number | "auto" | "dataMin" | "dataMax", ...]; size?: number; showAll?: boolean; minTickGap?: number; orientation?: "left" | "right" | "top" | "bottom"; series?: string[]; key?: string; hide?: boolean; reversed?: boolean; angle?: number; label?: string | { value, offset? }; unit?: string; ticks?: (number | string)[]; allowDecimals?: boolean; allowDataOverflow?: boolean; niceTicks?: "auto" | "none"; interval?: number | "preserveEnd" | "preserveStart" | "preserveStartEnd" | "equidistantPreserveStart"; padding?: { left?, right?, top?, bottom? }; scale?: "linear" | "log" | "sqrt"; type?: "category" | "number"; mirror?: boolean; tickSize?: number; tick?: boolean; includeHidden?: boolean; allowDuplicatedCategory?: boolean } | AxisOptions[]	true	The category axis. A list draws several, such as a second on the other side showing another field (key, orientation). Options: reversed, angle, label, interval, padding, type number, tickSize, tick, allowDuplicatedCategory.
valueAxis	boolean | { tickFormatter?: (value, index) => string; tickLine?: boolean; axisLine?: boolean; tickMargin?: number; tickCount?: number; domain?: [number | "auto" | "dataMin" | "dataMax", ...]; size?: number; showAll?: boolean; minTickGap?: number; orientation?: "left" | "right" | "top" | "bottom"; series?: string[]; key?: string; hide?: boolean; reversed?: boolean; angle?: number; label?: string | { value, offset? }; unit?: string; ticks?: (number | string)[]; allowDecimals?: boolean; allowDataOverflow?: boolean; niceTicks?: "auto" | "none"; interval?: number | "preserveEnd" | "preserveStart" | "preserveStartEnd" | "equidistantPreserveStart"; padding?: { left?, right?, top?, bottom? }; scale?: "linear" | "log" | "sqrt"; type?: "category" | "number"; mirror?: boolean; tickSize?: number; tick?: boolean; includeHidden?: boolean; allowDuplicatedCategory?: boolean } | AxisOptions[]	false	The value axis. A list adds axes, each scaling the series it names, on the other side with orientation. Options: reversed, unit, ticks, allowDecimals, allowDataOverflow, niceTicks, scale (linear, log, sqrt), mirror, label, includeHidden.
grid	boolean | { horizontal?: boolean; vertical?: boolean; strokeDasharray?: string; fill?: string; fillOpacity?: number; horizontalFill?: string[]; verticalFill?: string[]; horizontalValues?: (number | string)[]; verticalValues?: (number | string)[]; horizontalPoints?: number[]; verticalPoints?: number[]; horizontalCoordinatesGenerator?: (plot) => number[]; verticalCoordinatesGenerator?: (plot) => number[]; syncWithTicks?: boolean }	true	The grid: horizontal lines at the value ticks by default, vertical on request; dashed lines, a background fill and stripes between the lines; lines at given values or pixels; syncWithTicks keeps the category lines to the ticks that show.
labels	boolean | LabelOptions | LabelOptions[] (LabelOptions: { position?, key?, series?, formatter?: (value, row) => string, offset?, color?, class? })	false	Values above each point.
tooltip	boolean | { indicator?: "dot" | "line" | "dashed"; hideLabel?: boolean; hideIndicator?: boolean; color?: string; labelKey?: string; nameKey?: string; labelFormatter?: (label, row) => string; formatter?: (value, key, row) => string; footer?: (row) => string; footerLabel?: string; unit?: string; defaultIndex?: number; cursor?: boolean; filterNull?: boolean; trigger?: "hover" | "click"; active?: boolean; position?: { x?, y? }; reverseDirection?: { x?, y? }; itemSorter?: "name" | "value" | "key" | (item) => number | string; includeHidden?: boolean; animationDuration?: number; animationEasing?: string | (t) => number; isAnimationActive?: boolean }	true	The tooltip: false turns it off; an object sets the indicator, hides the heading or swatches, takes names and headings from other keys, formats them, adds a footer line, or turns off the hover cursor. More options: trigger click (a click shows it and it stays), active (always or never shown), position (a fixed spot), reverseDirection, itemSorter and includeHidden.
legend	boolean | { position?: "top" | "bottom" | "left" | "right" | "center" | "insideTop" | "insideBottom" | "insideLeft" | "insideRight" | "insideTopLeft" | "insideTopRight" | "insideBottomLeft" | "insideBottomRight" | { x, y }; offset?: number; iconSize?: number; verticalAlign?: "top" | "middle" | "bottom"; align?: "left" | "center" | "right"; layout?: "horizontal" | "vertical"; iconType?: "square" | "rect" | "circle" | "line" | "plainline" | "diamond" | "triangle" | "cross" | "star" | "wye" | "none"; formatter?: (name, key) => string; itemSorter?: "name" | "key" | (item) => number | string; hideIcon?: boolean; nameKey?: string; toggle?: boolean }	false	The legend: above or below the plot, or beside it with verticalAlign middle; position puts it beside the plot, over it at an inside spot or the center, or at a point, offset moves it, iconSize sizes the swatch; align, a vertical layout, the swatch shape (iconType), a name formatter and an itemSorter; names from another key; toggle makes each item a button that hides its series.
margin	{ top?, right?, bottom?, left? }	{}	Space around the plot in px; each side defaults to 5.
active	number (two-way)	-1	The active item index. Hover and the arrow keys move it; when the pointer leaves it returns to the value it had.
hidden	string[] (two-way)	[]	Series keys not drawn. They stay in the legend, where a toggle legend shows them again.
label	string	"Area chart"	The chart's accessible name and its table's caption.
animate	boolean	true	Marks enter with motion and move to new values. Off under prefers-reduced-motion.
animation	{ begin?: number; duration?: number; easing?: string | (t) => number; matchBy?: "index" | "append" | (item, index) => key; interpolate?: (items, t) => items; newValues?: boolean }	{}	Times the entry and the move to new data. matchBy pairs old and new items by position or by a key, matchByDataKey(field) from the chart package; interpolate draws every frame of a change from the paired items and the eased time; newValues false shows an unpaired new point at once.
showTable	boolean	false	Show the chart's data table under the plot. The table is always in the accessibility tree.
class	string	""	Classes on the figure. Size the chart here: it keeps a 16:9 box unless given a height or aspect-ratio.
attrs	Record<string, string | number | boolean | undefined>	{}	Any other attributes for the figure: id, data-testid, aria-*.
syncId	string	""	Charts with the same syncId share the active item and its tooltip.
syncMethod	"index" | "value"	"index"	Match the shared item by position, or by its category or name.
onActiveChange	(index: number) => void	() => {}	The user moved the active item (hover, leave or keys).
onItemClick	(index: number) => void	() => {}	A click or tap on an item, with its index.
onHiddenChange	(hidden: string[]) => void	() => {}	A legend toggle changed hidden.

Keyboard

Keys	Action
Tab	Focuses the chart (one tab stop) and shows the tooltip for the item the keys last reached, else the active item, else the first.
ArrowRight / ArrowDown	Next item. The same under dir=rtl: the plot is not mirrored, so keys follow the screen.
ArrowLeft / ArrowUp	Previous item.
Home / End	First and last item.
Escape	Hides the tooltip. In a dialog, the dialog stays open until the next Escape.

Accessibility

• The plot is one tab stop: role=group, aria-roledescription=chart, named by label, described by the data table.
• The SVG is aria-hidden; a screen reader gets the data from the table, which every chart renders.
• Arrow keys move through the items and each move is announced in a polite live region, for example "February: Desktop 305, Mobile 200".
• Identity is never color alone: a legend for two or more series and labels on the tooltip rows.
• Legend toggles are buttons with aria-pressed.
